Finding Hope in Unexpected Places

When we journey through a three-year marital separation, face unwanted health problems, cry through the night for a prodigal, or watch dreams crumble, we don’t expect to find hope. But, amazingly, we can. It’s happened to me. Although the challenges of life may seem too heavy, too complicated, too confusing, and too bogged down in “stuff” to leave an open pathway for the joys we cherish most, hope is closer than we think.

It all begins with the heart.

In “Heart Talk” we’ll journey together and talk heart to heart, looking at life and love, sharing thoughts and feelings, and discovering all the good things God has for us. Once a month, the blog will feature other authors who’ve written books to nurture your heart as well.
